NCT ID NCT02536209

First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This early-phase study tested a single dose of MT-8554 in 20 healthy men to see how it affects pain perception. Participants underwent a cold pressor test (immersing hand in cold water) and rated their pain on a scale. The study also checked for side effects. Since it involved healthy volunteers, the goal was to gather initial safety and pain-response data, not to treat a disease.
